Mitra, a painter, joins Christy's room as her flatmate. Vishwa then recommends a job for Mitra's brother which makes her happy and both become friends. She explains that her father lost his job because of the false blame of erasing all important data. Vishwa then feels bad as he was the one behind it. Slowly, Vishwa starts loving her and decides to propose. After his proposal, Mitra accepts his love by gifting him a painting. When they are about to meet all flights get cancelled due to the lockdown. Later they start a video call and decide not to hang up until they meet.

Things change when an unknown man attacks Mitra and Christy. He stabs Christy and ties Mitra to a chair. Vishwa who was seeing it all gets tensed and pleads to the man not to harm them. But the man threatens to kill them if Vishwa doesn't obey his words. He asks Vishwa to reveal his original identity to Mitra. The man then asks to reveal the identity of his friends Sadha and Ashraf but he initially refuses. The man then tries to kill Mitra. Vishwa with no other option left reveals their identity. The man then sends their identity to Khan (a cyber security officer). Vishwa also sends a secret message along with the identity. With that Khan sees that Mitra is in danger so he goes to the location sent to arrest the unknown man.

The man then tells why he was doing this. He reveals that he had developed a game by selling everything he had. It is told that Vishwa hacks the game and sells the data to a big company. He says that his wife had committed suicide and he wanted Vishwa to face the pain that he was facing so he tries to kill Mitra.

Reception

Calling it an "engaging tale," Prakash Pecheti of Telangana Today wrote: "KV Guhan, who made his mark with his debut flick 118 , yet again shows his skill as a storyteller with a screenplay that is taut." [5] Praising the performances, reviewer from Sakshi Post said: "Arun Adith steals the show with his stellar performance in the film. Shivani Rajasekhar's charm lies in her innocent appearance and her impeccable performance which makes the film an endearing watch." [6] The Times of India critic Thadhagath Pathi rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "WWW tries to be fresh in its attempt but it’s a major let-down. Director KV Guhan could’ve pulled off this one better." [7]

123telugu.com stated: "WWW is a cybercrime thriller with a decent backdrop. However, logicless scenes, slow narration, and lack of depth in emotions take the film down in no time." [8] Aithagoni Raju of Asianet News Network appreciated the novel attempt by Guhan but opined that the screenplay and pacing could've been better. [9] A critic writing for Eenadu opined that barring a few good sequences, the film failed to impress. [10] On contrary, News18 Telugu 's Kiran Kumar Thanjavur praised the film, direction and performances, calling it a "must-watch." [11]
